ABOUT ME
Design has
been my passion since I was barely old enough to sharpen my own pencils.
I am a Natal City, Brazil native and love the beauty of my home city. As a child, I spent most of my time drawing and creating works of art. That passion has carried through my life in so many ways.
My passion became a career focus as I began winning design contests on the competitive site 99Designs. I started designing as a full-time freelancer in 2012 and now I have a wide range of experience with clients from all over the world including Canada and the United States.
My hard work and creativity have served me well, and I have been freelancing ever since. I currently work as Lead Product Designer for Elys Network and continue to freelance for clients locally and internationally.

Mind your letters - an online store for designers
It has been years that I wanted to build a brand for someone like me, a introvert technology enthusiast, nerdy girl, that likes hiphop music and all forms of art, and loves to dance when no one is watching. That's why I’ve decided that it was time to finally take this dream and make a move about it. That’s how Mind Your Letters was born.
If you relate to that, you might like to check some of these products because I always have some version of us in mind when I’m making them.
